What are cookies?

We use so-called “cookies” on various pages in order to make our website more attractive to visitors and to enable the use of certain functions. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your terminal device and which store specific settings and details about your browser to share with our system.

What data is stored by cookies?

Cookies are small text files that your browser automatically creates and which are stored on your device (PC, tablet, smartphone, etc.) so that you can use our website with ease and tailored to you individually. Cookies are only accepted by your web browser and stored on your device if you allow it, or if your browser is set accordingly. You can use our website at any time without cookies and still order online. However, in this case, you will be missing out on some helpful convenient features (such as "remembering" the items in your shopping cart) as well as information and offers tailored to your specific interests.

What are the advantages of cookies?

You can use our website more easily and effectively when using cookies. With the aid of cookies, your device will "note" which articles you have placed into the shopping basket for instance - even if you visit other pages in the meantime. Furthermore, you will see more articles on the website that correspond to your previous purchasing patterns. As a result, you will not have to search for long in order to find your favourite items and you won't miss any bargains.

How safe are cookies?

Cookies cannot cause any damage to your device. They do not pose any sort of safety risk - e.g. through viruses or spyware. You can determine whether and to what extent you wish to allow the use of cookies on your device. You can find out how to accept, refuse or remove cookies by using the help function of your browser. If you reject or delete cookies in your browser, it may be the case that websites are not as easy for you to use or are not as individually tailored as would be the case were you to use cookies.

How can cookie setting be changed?

Please note that certain cookies are placed as soon as you open our website. Cookies are only accepted by your web browser and stored on your computer if you have allowed this or if your browser has been set up to allow this. We recommend that you allow the use of cookies on your browser to enable you to use our website as easily and as individually as possible. You can also use our website without cookies at any time, including to order online. However, this may restrict the functionality of the website.

Through our data protection information section you can object to the use of cookies from individual providers. This objection is documented itself by a cookie and remains valid as long as you do not delete the cookie. The opt-out cookie is set for the named domain, per browser and user of a device. Therefore, if you access our website from multiple devices and browsers, you must again object to the data collection separately on each device and in each browser.
